The 2026 World Cup is just around the corner, and Spain has emerged as one of the big favorites to win it. The level she showed in the 2024 Eurocup saw her declared champion with a young and hungry block and expectations soared. … But with so many people, what should the final list be?
Sports analysts talked about this topic julio maldonadoIn one of the latest videos on his YouTube channel “Mundo Maldini”, Maldini has already thought about the World Cup and made his decision based on the assumption that all players will arrive healthy. He deliberately selected 11 players for the starting lineup, but before that he listed the 26 players who were called up.
26 guns that Maldini will use for his national team
When it comes to goals, he doesn’t hesitate much. will lead to Unai SimonBut he realizes he’s not having his brightest moments. then I put david rayahe looks ahead of the athletic goalie. And as the third goalkeeper, he introduced the following novelties: joan garciait remains to be seen how his season at Barça will unfold.
Maldini appointed as right-back Marcos Llorente And to my surprise Eric Garcia. He defines him as an “incomplete wildcard” who can function as a full-back or central defender, and claims that recent performances at Barça force him to be there. Pedro Polo is now sent off. As for Carvajal, the video is based on the idea that everyone is healthy, but Maldini is aware that he considers it very difficult, and therefore virtually automatically rules it out.
The left side is also not complicated. I maintain the couple formed by Cucurella and Grimaldo, People he considers untouchable today. The only question will be whether Alejandro Balde will return to his best level, but today he was adamant that both players have “more than earned” their positions and there is no reason to change them.
Maldini is also very good at the center of defense. He is not convinced by Laporte and is betting on a clear generational change. Kvarshi and Huisen As the main axis, Le Normande and vivian Complete the rotation.
In the center of the field, he says, “it’s very clear.” I would start Zubimendi and RodriHowever, the City player poses physical doubts, with the nuance that his 100% presence is not guaranteed. with them, Pedri, Fabian, Mikel Merino, Pablo Barrios, Dani Olmo, Fermín, Alex Baena, Isco. As for Gabi, remember he hasn’t played that long. If he recovers in time, he might be able to play in Baena’s place, but he was ruled out today.

Ferran Torres and Oyarzabal For his performance with the national team. As for the center forward role, doubts arose between Samuel Omolodion and Borja Iglesias. Recent performances have ultimately left him with: Borja Iglesias.

With 26 players decided, Maldini will assemble the starting eleven. He has David Raya in goal and believes he is the most reliable goalkeeper at the moment. Marcos Llorente is on the right side. Cucurella is on the left. And as the central couple, they are young and making bold bets: Huisen and Kbarshi. It may seem like a risk, but given the dominant style that Spain offers, it suits him.
He chose Zvimendi as his pivot given the doubts surrounding Rodri. Next to it, we chose a combination of Pedri and Fabian for the interior. Above, he completes the proposal with Oyarzabal in a more associative role, Nico Williams as an overflow on the left and Ramin Yamal as a great generator on the right.
